[Instrumental Intro]
(Heavy tribal drums building up, frantic Celtic fiddle, atmospheric wind)
[Verse 1]
[Deep Male Vocal]
Cold steel and shield, forged in deep pain
A knight and his lady, with valour to gain
[Strong Lyrical Female Voice]
Leaving their village in shadows, seeking the light
The realm of the righteous, a legendary sight.
[Chorus]
[Epic Choir joining Both Voices]
[Heavy Riffs]
Through the biting frost and the ocean’s fierce roar
In search of the haven of peace evermore
Fighting for honour, refusing to yield
Where pure souls immortal shall stand on the field!
[Verse 2]
[Deep Male Vocal]
Beasts of the woodland and frost biting cold
Challenging the blade and the archer so bold
[Strong Lyrical Female Voice]
Side by side bleeding, cleaving the night
Clearing the path for their kin to the light.
[Bridge]
[Tempo Drops]
[Soft, Haunting Female Voice]
Behold, the horde charges, death gives a smile
To save the defenceless, they fall in the trial...
[Sudden Heavy Guitars]
[Aggressive Male Vocal]
The ultimate strike, the final breath drawn
A sacrifice made ere the breaking of dawn!
[Epic Guitar and Bagpipe Solo]
(Fast tempo, heavy distortion, dramatic climax)
[Verse 3]
[Both Voices - Powerful and Resonant]
Their eyes slowly close on the dark, bloody ground
But the gates of the heavenly hall now resound
It wasn't a myth, nor an idle desire
The death in the battle hath raised them up higher!
[Outro]
[Massive Viking Choir]
[Pounding Drums]
Valhalla is calling! The mead starts to pour!
The realm of the righteous they found evermore.
[Fading Female Lyrical Voice]
For those who now live, they gave up their breath.
[Massive Choir]
Valhalla! Valhalla! Triumphant in death!
[Fade Out]
(Howling wind, distant swords clashing)
